The description of this virus is found on
http://www.nai.com/vinfo/v_0880.asp
it causes intermittent disk access errors.

It is caused by booting from an infected diskette.  It will
also copy itself to every diskette you use thereafter.

The instructions for removal are found on
http://www.nai.com/vinfo/1111.asp
basically boot from a clean write-protected diskette.  Then
from a clean write-protected diskette run scan c: /clean
/all
